Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen hasn’t even stepped on the field in a Seattle uniform and he’s already looking ahead to the next step in his career. Olsen has inked a deal with Fox Sports to become their future No. 2 NFL game analyst, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
Olsen signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Seahawks this spring to add a valuable veteran presence to the tight end corps. All indications are that he is still set to play, yet preparing for his next move when his football days are over.
Per Marchand, Olsen will eventually partner with Kevin Burkhardt on game days.

Olsen’s agreement for future employment is similar to the arrangement current Saints quarterback Drew Brees has with NBC. Broadcast partners around the NFL have been eyeing potential soon-to-be-former players to add to their lineup.
For now, Olsen with partner with Russell Wilson and Co. on Sundays, hoping to lead the Seahawks to another world championship.
